Authorities say people keep getting too close to the mother and her pup.
Starting this week, state conservation officers said they would block off the area to keep people away from the two to keep everyone safe.
Officials with the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources said the government operation is meant to protect the public and the seals. reports last month, a 60-year-old woman suffered minor injuries after the protective mother seal bit her.Law enforcement said officers will monitor the mother and her baby 24 hours a day until the pup weans in about three weeks. They are also warning the public once again to keep their distance.
“Awareness and safe behavior are critically important,” said Jason Redulla, with the Dept. of Land and Natural Resources. “Agencies have maintained a presence and signage since the pup’s birth, but these have failed to deter a number of people from approaching the seals, which has created a dangerous situation.”
Officials said it’s expected that Rocky and her pup will move to another area after weaning, and encounters will be much less of a concern then.
